In our August meeting, we will have the opportunity to hear two different approaches to innovation – one from a collaborative perspective and one from a start-up.
In our first presentation, we look at start-up Telememory, a Kansas City area company recently selected for the Techstars Accelerator. Telememory provides a technology specifically geared to aging members of the family to prevent loneliness and intervene in times of need. Our presenter will be Telememory CEO Eliot Arnold whose background is in healthcare analytics, decision support, Human : Machine interactions, marketing, and business development.
In our second presentation, we will hear from Mark Clements, M.D., Ph.D., of Children’s Mercy about the Rising T1DE Alliance, a multi-disciplinary collaborative he co-founded to rapidly innovate and scale quality improvement efforts in care for Type 1 Diabetes. The goal of the Rising T1DE Alliance is simple: get in front of problems by predicting clinically important outcomes, curate and evaluate novel interventional strategies to “nudge” individuals with diabetes toward better health, and create a platform to drive rapid-cycle testing of novel behavioral, digital and care delivery interventions using implementation science.
Dr. Clements is a pediatric endocrinologist and Medical Director of the Pediatric Clinical Research Unit at Children’s Mercy. He is also a professor of pediatrics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. He is a well-known innovator with a depth in digital health that runs from remote patient monitoring to deep learning. In the innovation space, he has collaborated with multiple Kansas City area companies, both large and small.
